Smoked Salmon and Veggie Frittata

I'd like to say this turned out AMAZING, but I think I ruined it with the salmon. Normally, I'm pretty sure it would have been good but there was a really fishy gross taste to this salmon that didn't sit well with me. So it is a good thing I didn't use much of it. This was also my first attempt at making a frittata so those of you who are experts don't laugh at me!

The first thing I did was chopped up a SMALL Yukon gold potato into tiny squares. I put it in the pan with some olive oil and put the lid on. I cooked it until the potato was tender (have to flip a time or two). While that was cooking, I chopped some green onion, tomato, spinach and the smoked salmon. Once the potatoes were tender, I added the veggies and salmon along with garlic and pepper. Let that cook for about a minute. I scrambled 3 Omega 3 brown eggs and a splash of milk. I poured that over the top of the veggies and put the lid back on the pan until the egg firmed up and was done.

I would caution you to be VERY careful if you have a flat top stove. I hate mine and wish I had a gas range, but I don't. The heat stays really high on the stove I have so I have to be extra careful. I was also cautious to make sure I used a non-stick pan. Eggs can be a mess if you don't use the right pan! Anyway, I ate half of the frittata with a slice of grain sprouted bread (flour-less). Now I have the other half for breakfast before work! Tonight was my first time trying this specific brand of grain bread and it is so good! I used to eat Ezekial 4:9 bread but I didn't like how dry and cardboard-like it was. This brand is great though! It is chewy and tasty and I think I may have found a new love!

And a little off topic, but a few other things I've been doing lately. The first is using a smaller plate (salad plate). Most of the time I'm totally satisfied after eating from a small plate. If I eat a bunch of salad with my meal then I will still use a big plate, but I'm trying to be sure that even when I use a big plate that I don't fill it. Water has also been critical for me. This water bottle has helped me drink so much more water! I'm not sure what it is about drinking through a straw but it makes the water go down so much easier. This is a 24-ounce bottle and I fill it at least 4 times but usually 5 times a day....that is almost a gallon of water! I've cut back to only drinking coffee one or two days a week. So aside from hot tea, water is pretty much the only thing I drink nowadays.

I've got History class tomorrow night and a Biology test to take at lunch so I likely won't be cooking tomorrow. I'll try to think of something good for you guys to cook over the weekend...it's almost here! Yay!
